Description

If you don't have brown sugar at home, you can use regular sugar for sprinkling, adding a pinch of cinnamon to it.

Ingredients

Wheat Flour - 3.5 oz
Butter - 3.5 oz
Brown Sugar - 3.2 oz
Chopped almonds - 3.5 oz
Ground Cinnamon - 1 tablespoon
Egg white - 1 piece
Vanilla salt - 0.5 oz
Salt - a pinch

Step by Step guide

Step 1

In a dry skillet, toast the almonds for 2–3 minutes until lightly golden. Chop the nuts in a blender briefly, so that the almond pieces are of varying sizes; this is necessary for an uneven texture in the cookies.

Step 2

Sift the flour together with the vanilla sugar and cinnamon. Cut the butter into pieces and blend it with 50 grams of brown sugar and a pinch of salt. Gradually add the flour mixture and chopped nuts to the blender, mixing each time until smooth.

Step 3

If the dough crumbles while mixing, you can add 2 teaspoons of cold liquid (such as water or milk). Place the prepared dough in the refrigerator for 1 hour.

Step 4

On a sheet of parchment paper, roll out the chilled dough with a rolling pin in all directions until it is fairly thin, about 1.5 mm. Transfer the parchment with the dough onto a baking tray and place it in the refrigerator for 5–10 minutes.

Step 5

Before placing the baking sheet in the preheated oven at 392°F, brush the dough with egg white and sprinkle with the remaining brown sugar. Use a round pizza cutter to cut the sheet of dough into squares and bake for 15 minutes.
